THE UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL

Take out a one dollar bill, and look at it. The one dollar bill you're looking at 
first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design.



This
so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it.  

It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. 

A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know. 

It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look.

If you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal.



On the top you will see the scales for a balanced budget.

In the center you have a carpenter's square, a tool used for an even cut.

Underneath is the Key to the United States Treasury.

That's all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is something we should all know.

If you turn the bill over, you will see two circles.


Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United States.

 




The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal.

It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.

If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.

 




Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.


The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished.  



Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity.

It was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.


"IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency.

 



The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has favored our undertaking."
The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, "a new order has begun."
At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776.
(MDCCLXXVI)
If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully,

 




you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States
It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery , and is the centerpiece of most hero's monuments. 


Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States , and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.


The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:
First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong and he is smart enough to soar above it.


Secondly, he wears no material crown.   We had just broken from the King of England.


Also, notice the shield is unsupported.  This country can now stand on its own.
 

At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying Congress, a unifying factor.

We were coming together as one nation.
In the Eagle's beak you will read, " E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning,  "one nation from many people".


Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away.


Again, we were coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons.


He holds an olive branch and arrows.

This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace.

The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.

They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number.
  This is almost a worldwide belief.

You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.

But think about this:


13 original colonies,

13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,

13 stripes on our flag,

13 steps on the Pyramid,

13 letters in the Latin above,

13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum",

13 stars above the Eagle,

13 bars on that shield,

13 leaves on the olive branch,

13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows.

And, for minorities: the 13th Amendment.

I always ask people, "Why don't you know this?


Your children don't know this, and their history teachers don't know this.

Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning fade.

Many veterans remember coming home to an America that didn't care.

Too many veterans never came home at all.

Share this with everyone, so they can learn what is on the back of the
UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL, and what it stands for.... Otherwise, they
will probably never know.

Cyber-fraud..... a caution message....

This is a forwarded message about a cyberfraud that is narrated by the victim (not mentioned due to privacy concerns)

"Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from my mobile service provider and he asked me to shutdown my 
phone for 2 hours for 3G update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone. 

After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had called me earlier - 3954380. 

I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them 
and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report. 

Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run 
down. I myself lodged a police report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money. 

Be careful as this kind of scammight happened to any of us!!! Those guys are so professional andvery convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down your cellphone for updates by the service provider, DON'T DO !!!!! 


Your family or friends might receive the same call..Be Safe and Stay Alert!

Please pass around to your family and friends "

Spiritual Reality - journey within .....

Introduction

SPIRITUAL REALITY takes you through a unique journey
A journey, which will change your life.
A journey, which will enrich you and make you Knowledgeable and Blissful.
SPIRITUAL REALITY is a program on
Meditation and Meditation Experiences.
While you watch this program,
Be totally relaxed….
Just witness it…
Just flow with it…
Don't try to analyze it…
Totally be with it…
If any thought comes, cut the thought…. Take a deep breath….just be with it…
It is just for you…

Introduction:
In this whole Creation, we are just a small speck.
Each one of us is in search of
Good health,
Peace,
Knowledge,
Prosperity,
Harmony and
Overall … a happy and blissful life at all given times and situations.
Each and every person strives hard to achieve this state.
But, can this really be achieved?
Yes…this can be achieved.

All these are possible only by
Understanding Cosmic Energy and Self-Knowledge.

Now let us know about Cosmic Energy.


Cosmic Energy

The Cosmic Energy exists everywhere in the Cosmos.
It is the Bond between the galaxies, the planets, humans and molecules.
It is the 'space' between each and everything.
It is the bond, which keeps the whole cosmos in order.
Cosmic Energy is the 'Life Force'.

This Cosmic Energy is essential to maintain the order of our life and to expand our Consciousness.
Cosmic Energy is the base for all our actions and functions.

We receive some amount of Cosmic Energy in deep Sleep and in total Silence.
We are using this energy for our day-to-day activities of our Mind like seeing, speaking, hearing, thinking and all actions of our Body.

cosmic energy

 

This limited energy gained through sleep is not sufficient for these activities. That is why we feel exhausted, tired and tensed. This leads to mental and physical stress and all kinds of illnesses.

The only way to over come this is to get more and more Cosmic Energy.

Cosmic Energy is essential to:
Maintain the order of our life
To lead a healthy and happy life
To totally involve in all situations we are in
To obtain Knowledge
And finally
For expansion of our Consciousness.

Abundant Cosmic Energy is obtained, only through Meditation.


Meditation

Meditation is the journey of our consciousness towards the Self.

Sleep is unconscious Meditation
Meditation is conscious sleep.
We receive some amount of Cosmic Energy in sleep and in deep silence.
We receive abundant Cosmic Energy in Meditation.

cosmic energy

 

Meditation is the journey of our consciousness from:
Body to Mind,
Mind to Intellect,
Intellect to Self
And beyond.
To do Meditation, the first thing is Posture.
We may sit in any posture. Posture must be comfortable and stable.
We may sit either on the floor or on a chair.
Cross your legs clasp the fingers
Close your eyes gently
Relax relax
Then,
Observe your normal Breath
Do not chant any Mantra do not think of any God
Just witness the Breath
If any thoughts come,
Do not go behind the thoughts do not negate the thoughts
Just come back observe the Breath
Witness the Breath
Be the Breath
Just Be.
This is the WAY. This is the Meditation Technique.
Then one reaches
No Thought and No Breath state.
This is the Meditative State.
By more and more Meditation, we receive abundant Cosmic Energy.
With this Meditation Technique,
Our Energy body gets cleansed
Third Eye get activated, and further perfected
Astral Travel happens
We understand Life After Life
And many more


Energy Body

Energy Body is the structure for the Consciousness.

Energy Body forms with more than 72000 Nadis or Energy tubes which run all across the Body.
All these Energy Tubes starts from the head region.
This region is called 'Bramha Randra'.
These Nadis spread through out the body like roots of a plant.

Energy Body is the main base for the design of our life.
Energy Body is the main source for all our actions and even for our existence.

energy body

 

Our Energy Body receives Cosmic Energy during sleep and Meditation.
We are using this Energy for our body and mind activities like seeing, speaking, hearing and physical movements and even for digestion.

All these functions are totally based on the incoming Cosmic Energy.

The inflow of Cosmic Energy is purely based on our thoughts.
When we have thoughts, the inflow of Cosmic Energy is obstructed.
In other words,
Our thoughts are the stumbling blocks for the inflow of Cosmic Energy.

When the inflow of Cosmic Energy is less, the Energy in the Energy Tubes depletes. This depletion causes Etheric Patches in the Energy Body. This Etheric Patches gradually leads to diseases in the physical body.
In other words,
Root cause of all diseases is the lack of Energy in the Energy Body.

In Meditation, we get abundant Cosmic Energy. It flows heavily through all our Energy Tubes of Energy Body. Cosmic Energy cleanses all Etheric Patches due to its heavy flow.
When Etheric Patches are cleansed, we come out of all our illness.

When Energy starts flowing heavily through Bramha Randra, we 'feel' heaviness in the head region or heaviness in the whole body.

When Energy is cleansing the Energy Tubes, we may get itching sensation or pain in that region.
Some times we may experience pain in various places in the physical body.

For all these pains we need not take any medicines.
All these pains will vanish by increasing Meditation.

By intake of more and more Cosmic Energy by more and more Meditation, we come out of all physical and mental illness.

Pyramid Power

Pyramid is the most stable structure, which receives the highest Cosmic Energy in this Planet Earth.

Pyramid forms at an angle 52 degrees51 minutes and because of this Angle, it receives the highest Cosmic Energy.

Pyramid can be constructed with any material.
Materials make no difference in the receiving of the Cosmic Energy.

Pyramid has to be aligned to perfect cardinal directions- north, south, east and west.

Cosmic Energy gets accumulated at 1/3rd height from the base of the Pyramid.
This place is known as King's Chamber.

Cosmic Energy will be the maximum in the King's Chamber and it spreads through out the Pyramid.

pyramid

A crystal fixed at the apex of the Pyramid, multiplies and distributes the Cosmic Energy through out the Pyramid.

The No Thought State or Nirmala Sthithi is attained three times faster if one meditates inside the Pyramid.

Pyramid can be used for communication with higher frequencies.

Meditation in the Pyramid helps in Healing and for all Meditation Experiences.


Third Eye

The Third Eye is a very powerful tool of the soul to 'see', to 'feel' and to 'hear' the higher frequency realities.
These three functions of the soul are known as Third Eye.

When the Cosmic Energy flows heavily, the Third Eye gets activated.

At the time of activation of the Third Eye, we feel an itching sensation or pulling sensation at the fore head region.

We start 'seeing' glimpses of various colors rotating around us. We 'see' pitch-dark color.

third eye

We 'hear' murmuring sounds, sound of walking.

Here, we 'feel' we are traveling in a pitch dark Tunnel, we 'feel' as if we are falling in a dark tunnel, we feel we are moving upwards in a dark tunnel towards a brilliant light, we 'feel' we are traveling towards bright light.

Third Eye Perfection:

When the Etheric Body gets sufficient Cosmic Energy by more and more Meditation our Third Eye gets perfected.

Here, we perceive crystal clear visions of this plane and other planes.

In Third Eye perfection,
we 'see' so many things more crystal clear than the physical visions.
We 'see' other frequency realities.
We ''see' the things which are not present near the five senses.
We 'feel' so many things, which we cannot express with the words.
We 'hear' inner voices, sounds or sounds of Instruments from other frequencies.
We 'see' Masters who are not there physically with us.
We 'see' Masters in a physical form, as we know them.
After more Meditation, we start 'seeing' the Master like a 'Bright Light".
Even by 'seeing' the Bright Light, we 'feel' the identity of the Master.
We can 'hear' the messages from the Masters.
We 'feel' moving in a tunnel and finally merging with the light.

Third Eye Experiences makes us to know that:
We can get answers for all our problems through
Messages from the Masters
or by 'seeing' other frequency realities or as a 'feeling'.

By this:
Our actions will change.
Our beliefs will change.
Our Understanding will change.

After this Third Eye experience, we find changes in our perception of this physical plane.


Astral Travel

Astral Body is a tool of the Self to perceive other frequency realities.
Astral Body is one more form of our Consciousness like our physical body.
In normal condition our Consciousness is spread through out the physical body.
When we receive sufficient amount of Energy and when we 'feel' to perceive the other frequency realities, the consciousness moves in the form of Astral Body.
We perceive the Astral Body experiences unconsciously in Sleep, which we call as DREAMS.
One can perceive Astral Body experiences consciously in Meditation.

astral travel

Astral body travels beyond space and time.
After Conscious Astral Experiences, we start perceiving new dimensions.

In Meditation, after receiving abundant Cosmic Energy the Consciousness that is spread everywhere in the body, starts moving towards a point.
While Consciousness is moving, we experience
jerks in the physical body,
rotation in the physical body.
Movements may be experienced in different parts of the body or some times, one may experience as if the whole body is rotating.

We feel as if our body is floating.
We don't 'feel' the hands and legs.
We 'feel' lightness of the body like feather.

These are known as ASTRAL MOVEMENTS.

By doing more and more Meditation, we get more and more Cosmic Energy.
The Consciousness forming like an Astral Body, starts rotating very fast which causes heavy movements in physical body.
After the movements, the Astral body starts coming out of the physical body with a link called Silver Chord. Silver Chord is nothing but a high vibrant consciousness which transfers the messages to physical body to astral body and vice versa.
With this, we do ASTRAL TRAVEL.

Astral Travel is a travel of our Consciousness to known and unknown frequencies.
By doing Astral Travel we get highest knowledge and understanding of the SELF.
In Astral Travel, our Astral Body can pass through all physical materials, all elements like earth, water, fire, wind and ether. Astral Body can go to all other frequency dimensions with out any limitations.
After coming out of the body, Meditator 'sees' his own physical body. By this he gets great understanding. He understands that he is not only the body, but he stays in the body. This is a great understanding.

Every one should experience Astral Travel.
By traveling a lot
our limitedness will vanish and
we will understand that we are unlimited

By this experience only,
We understand that we are THE CONSCIOUSNESS.
We understand that we are UNLIMITED.
We understand the NEW DIMENSIONS OF LIFE.


Nirvana

With more and more Meditation, wWe will receive more Cosmic Energy.
Cosmic Energy improves our involvement in what we are in.
By more and more total involvement with Body-Mind-Self,
We Understand IN-TOTAL about the situations.
This Understanding is nothing but KNOWLEDGE.

Common man will get only experience, but fails to perceive the
Knowledge in that situation. It is because he experiences the situation with physical understanding alone.
But a Master will Understand the situation in TOTAL. It is because he Knows that he is not the just Body, but he knows that he stays in the Body. He understands that the situations are for his Knowledge.

nirvana

After experiencing all meditational experiences, and implementing it in our practical life, we will get 'great understanding'.
This Understanding opens up several thousands of doors which gives new dimensions of perceptions in our life.

Our understanding, our Perception and our Knowledge expands a lot.

This leads to the expansion of our Consciousness.
This is nothing but having the WISDOM.

We experience this state of Wisdom in meditation,
as a THOUSAND PETALLED GOLDEN LOTUS.

Each and every petal is a new dimension of understanding.

By perceiving more and more dimensions,
we understand more and more knowledge of other existences.

With this Understanding, we come to know that:

There is No Death and we are Eternal Beings.
We understand "what is Birth?" and "what is Death?"

Life after Life - Birth and Death

We are Consciousness
We come to this Earth plane as a speck of Cosmic Consciousness.

While coming from the source, we come with Etheric Body as a structure for the Self.
We come to this Earth plane to have unique experiences.

For our experiences, we select the womb,
We select the parents, environment and situations.

The whole design of life is known to the Self.

Birth
After selecting the mother, speck of consciousness enters the mother's womb.
After Consciousness enters into the mother's womb, fetus gets life.
The physical body takes the shape according to the Cosmic Energy in the Etheric Body and according to the Cause.
Consciousness will be traveling frequently to the source till it takes first breath.

After coming out from the mother's womb, it takes its first external breath.
This is known as Birth.

Life
From day one to age of seven. we will have awareness of the source.
The mind starts taking its shape from age seven and it completely forms by age fourteen.
Intellect starts its activation from the age fourteen and fully developed by the age twenty-one.
From the age twenty-one to age of twenty-eight, one experiences the combination of body, mind and intellect.
From the age of twenty eight, life depends on Self Knowledge.

If one does not have awareness of the Self, his Consciousness lies in between body and mind.
Because of this, whole misery starts.
He cannot understand the situations.
Things will become more critical for him.

He moulds into concealed rigid ness.
Rigid ness blocks the Cosmic flow.
Due to this he suffers with physical illness, stress and tensions.
He passes his days with out awareness.
He cannot understand the very purpose of his life.

Death and Beyond
If one passes his life with out awareness and with out Understanding,
Then,
He passes from childhood days to youth, then to old age and finally passes away from this Earth plane with out completion of his purpose of coming to this Earth plane.
It is what we call Death.

Even after death, layer of rigid mind with wrong understanding does not allow the Consciousness to reach the Source.
Because of the wrong understanding,
he creates his own Hell And Heaven and stays as a lower Astral World being.

If one starts one's life being with the Self,
he will be always blissful in all given situations.
Even after Death, he won't be in the lower frequencies.
He will go back to the Source.


Enlightenment

By obtaining The Higher Knowledge through Third Eye, Astral Travel, Knowledge of Birth and Death one will have perfect understanding of Body, Mind, Intellect, Self and Life force.

By living all the time with this understanding, one starts getting much more higher understanding about the Existence of whole Creation.

With this understanding one will become a MIRACULOUS CREATOR.

This is what
E N L I G H T E N M E N T.

enlightenment

He understands that:
Consciousness is the combination of Energy and Knowledge.
Consciousness comes to this plane to gain more Energy and Knowledge and to Create.

Then,
Whatever HE speaks, it manifests!
Whatever HE thinks, it manifests!
Whatever HE does, it becomes a CREATION!

Know what you want, and have the courage to do it.

Some people say that life never gave them square deals but when a chance is offered to them, they start vacillating, saying it was not what they wanted, and it would not work out anyway to their advantage. Their doubts scared them of the future, because they had not the courage to grab the opportunity, and by fearing to attempt they never did anything big.

Life likes the people who challenge it. In life we have got to take risks when they come. People who dare do it, get a great deal farther than people who are very easily frightened ever to take a chance.

Age is no barrier between you and any new effort. A great many of the most famous people in the world, began life fairly late. Your age in years does not count. Your mental age counts. There is no reason to put up with being an old fashioned fellow, or to tolerate sitting in a back-water complaining that life has been stingy in its favors to you, or that you are too old to do anything worthwhile. Get up and get on with life.

Wake up and realize so far you have allowed apprehension to tease you too long. This is the time to ignore it and take the risk.

Risk is frightening. Men are scared of poverty, of illness, and particularly of public opinion. To be afraid of public opinion is the most contemptible excuse of all. If one stopped to think of that, not one of us would get anywhere. Defy the gossips. Never let fear and doubt spoil your life. Take the chances you are offered and give them the courage they demand. You will get more by daring them than by slipping away into what you think are the safe, comfortable shadows.

Know what you want, and have the courage to do it. Challenge and take risks!

  • "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
  • "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
  • "The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
  • "Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
  • "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
  • "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
  • "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
  • "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
  • "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
  • "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

One thing at a time & that done well is a very good rule as many can tell.

When you take up any work, apply your whole heart, full mind and soul, to the work. Do it with perfect concentration. What another can do in six hrs, you can turn out within half an hour, smoothly, in a methodical and orderly manner.  This requires high end practice. You will be taken for an accomplished practitioner. Even when you study, study the subject with perfect concentration. Do not allow the mind to wander. You must shut out all external disturbances. Fix the gaze on one point. Do not allow the eyes to wander. When you study a subject , do not think of coffee or sweets.The whole world should be dead to you for the time being.

Such must be the nature of concentration. It will come to you after some steady and constant endeavours. Be not troubled. Be not discouraged.There will be some delay. Wait cooly and patiently. Rome was not built in a day. It is all a question of time.

Do not leave the practice even for a day even when you are sick.In you failure lies the secret of your success. and in your weakness, the secret of your strength.

Plod on , Push on. Gird up your lions. Nil desperandum. Be bold. March on courageously.  Be cheerful. A brilliant future is awaiting you. Practice, and get rejoice. Become a world figure. You can make yourself one. Follow your chosen path. Be sincere and earnest. Rise Up.

Awake, the light is abundant, only you have to reach there.

Ever imagined if 'PAIN' could benefit us?

PAIN is a symptom of a disease. PAIN is a blessing in disguise. PAIN is an eye-opener. PAIN is your silent teacher. PAIN will turn your mind towards righteousness.

If there was no PAIN, bad and good would look alike. When we feel the PAIN we understand what is right and what is wrong. Once we conclude the actual cause, others will be alarmed.

Once a while if we check whatever we do in our lives is justifiable, then we get a chance to correct ourselves. Often we talk about circumstances and situations that make us to tread the wrong path. PAIN takes its course in warning us.

Conquer your difficulties one by one. Stand adamant. Smile away your worries and sorrows. Develop a balanced mind. Be cheerful always. Develop a new magnanimous personality. Smile and laugh. Rejoice within.

Inhibit all surging emotions and impulses. Direct your energies in the appropriate channel towards your chosen ideal. Develop the power by self-control. Keep the instincts in harmony. Master your thoughts. Cultivate serenity of mind. Reserve your energy. Educate your will. Coordinate your innate tendencies, you will enjoy immense peace of mind. You will possess tremendous inner strength. You will have rapid progress.  PAIN will be at your service.
